After reading The Whole Sky Full of Stars (Saldana, Rene Jr.; Wendy Lamb Books/Random House, 2007) and Finding Our Way: Stories (Saldana, Rene Jr.; Wendy Lamb Books/Random House, 2003) I wondered what type of writing these books fell under. I think this chapter helped me find my answer. I found myself smiling as I read these books. I was able to identify with the characters as they switched from speaking English to Spanish and back to English—this is really how we (I) talk! It was great to see it in writing!
